Chris Chestnut, CEO & Co-Founder, Payix | Episode 82

Chris Chestnut, the CEO & Co-Founder of Payix is our special guest this week on episode 82 of the Leaders in Payments podcast.

Chris moved to North Texas from Arizona when he was 12 and has been in North Texas since including attending college at University of Texas in Arlington. Chris assumed his career would be in sales but he actually hated sales, so he went into the IT department at Americredit and learned the technology side of business. He left Americredit and started a company that bought auto receivables.

In 2015 Chris left that company with another partner to start Payix. Payix is a software platform that helps non-bank middle tier lenders communicate with their borrowers and ultimately take their payments – whether that is online, mobile, IVR or with an agent on the phone. Their integration with loan management systems helps to differentiate them in the marketplace. Today Payix has 30-40 team members and has close to 100 customers using their software today.

Chris has some great advice for entrepreneurs and for those just starting their careers – whether in payments or not.

Brandon Spear, CEO of TreviPay | Episode 84

Brandon Spear, the CEO of TreviPay is our special guest on episode 84 of the Leaders in Payments podcast.

Brandon grew up in South Africa and completed college in electrical engineering. He moved to the United States about 15 years ago and is currently based in Overland Park Kansas.

TreviPay has had some significant changes in the past year and Brandon and I discuss those – which include the rebranding of the company from MSTS to TreviPay and the acquisition of the company by Corsair Capital.

TreviPay is a business-to-business payments company and they focus on the seller and help them to grow their business through the extension of payment terms to their clients.

Brandon is an avid sports fan and specifically a Kansas City Chiefs football fan – which of course has come with its high and lows over the last two years. On the professional side, leadership development is one of his primary passions.
